I want to offer you a small amout of money that you'll receive if the snorks living in the swamps will stop bothering me and my colleagues. Sometimes when we're carrying out our experiments, we can't even concentrate.
― Sakharov
Purge the Lair of the Snorks is an optional side mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Acquisition[]
The mission given to the player by Professor Sakharov, who is inside of the Yantar Bunker. The mission may be given when the player's character enters Yantar after disabling the psi device inside Lab X-16.
Mission[]
Snorks' lair is located at the "scenic" Lake Yantar. Killing snorks is most easily done with a shotgun with an aim at the head, if it is available, anything that can hit it in the head at a distance is good. When they leap, one can quickly dodge or duck as low as possible. The battle can be dangerous at Lake Yantar, because of the slowing effect of the water, which can give it enough of a chance to jump or run up and attack the player. Close combat should be avoided, but 2-3 knife attacks on the back, or one to the head is sufficient to kill one at full health. Alternate techniques tend to center on sniping the snorks from range, especially if the lake has become infested with Zombified Stalkers.
Reward[]
- 3000 RU
- 2 Scientific first aid kits
Trivia[]
- Sakharov may automatically assign this task if the Marked One collects the reward for purging the lair of the wild dogs in the Wild Territory.
